[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are kicking Andrew and Fergie out of his giant house and giving him Frogmore.

Charles already said he is streamlining. This is it. Probably doing all the hard stuff so William doesn't have to. [/quote]

Charles is doing all the hard stuff because the British government is making him substantially cut back the Sovereign Grant.  Frogmore Cottage   is part of the  Crown Estates, and the Queen gave H&M a two year lease on the cottage as a wedding present. When they moved to Canada and then California, they took most of their stuff from the cottage.  They had renewed the lease but Charles (pressured by the gov.uk) did not allow them to renew the lease. But he did let them extend their occupancy from March 31 (when they should have vacated) to June 30.  Not sure what the fuss is since they haven't lived there and landlords are permitted to terminate leases.  It is not an "eviction," which would be done if a tenant had violated lease terms, but a simple termination of the lease.   NBD.[/quote]

Well, one reason for the fuss is that they put a lot of money into the property— presumably based on their understanding with the Queen that this would be their home indefinitely, similar to the arrangements held by other family members.  It’s funny that one of the few British Royal families actually paying market rate for their house is having their lease terminated — if the issue is related to money / the Sovereign Grant.

They should be made whole for those expenses.[/quote]

That is being worked out with Prince Harry and Meghan.   The "Financial Times" had a very good piece on it[/quote]

I haven’t found anything in the Financial Times. This article from the International Business Times did pop up though.
